ABSTRACT:
A safety connector is provided for connection to the branch port on a fluid flow line. The connector comprises a tubular body having an opening at its distal end to receive a branch port and a channel in the wall of the tubular body adjacent to the distal end. The channel is adapted to receive the fluid flow line when the branch port is engaged within the tubular body. The connector also comprises a locking rotatable collar located on the distal end of the tubular body. The collar is rotatable from a first position wherein the channel is adapted to receive the fluid flow line when the branch port is engaged within the tubular body, and a second position wherein the collar prevents the removal of the branch port from the tubular body.
